About Death Of Oury Jalloh
- Oury Jalloh (born 1968 in Kabala, Sierra Leone; died 7 January 2005 in Dessau, Germany) was an asylum seeker who died in a fire in a police cell in Dessau, Germany.
- The hands and feet of Jalloh, who was alone in the cell, were tied to a mattress.
- A fire alarm went off, but was initially turned off without further action by an officer.
- The case caused national and international outrage. In 2007, two officers were charged with causing bodily harm with fatal consequences and with involuntary manslaughter, respectively, but were acquitted in December 2008 for lack of evidence.
- According to the presiding judge, contradictory testimony had prevented clarification of the circumstances and had obstructed due process.
- The Federal Court of Justice annulled one of the acquittals, and since January 2011, a different Landgericht than before is concerned with the case.
